Colin: Were the Cowboys a deceiving 12-5 last season?

[Arkyvarminter]

Not every 12-5 team is legit. You’re only as good as the competition you face. We had a winning record against non-playoff teams and losing record against playoff teams.

You're talking about every team in the NFL ace...........

 

[Carson]

We never looked like a 12-5 team last season which is why we got manhandled by the sixth seed in the playoffs at home. You’re not always what your record says you are. We had a winning record against non playoff teams with average QBs and we had a losing record against playoff teams.

The same team that we lost to, beat Rodgers in Green Bay in the snow. They were an easy dropped pick from going to the super bowl.

They were the hot team late and outside of the Rams, nobody stood a chance.

Colin is correct about McCarthy, and correct about Dak.

12 wins is a significant accomplishment though. Can't just write that off to an easy schedule.

I think the Cowboys defense will be even better this season. If the O-line can rise to the occasion, this team could make some noise.

Sounds like Collin been reading my posts. Scary because he is like a broken clock. But I pretty much agreed with the whole rant this morning.

We also got 9(!!) reruns touchdowns. Which is a fluke.

You guys just enjoy crying and being miserable.

There were six teams with 12 or more wins last season and the Cowboys only beat one real good QB, Justin Herbert. They were 3-5 against playoff teams. They lost to two QBs last season that have been replaced as starters Teddy Bridgewater and Jimmy G.

That Denver game last year was embarrassing

He likes to point to the easy ride in the NFCE, but no mention of Goat Boys’ easy ride in the ‘00’s in the AFCE.

 

[Streifenkarl]

As Parcells would say you are what your record says you are. The rest is BS

Indeed. And the record was 0-1 where it mattered. End of story.

That’s no excuse for us losing at home to them. The Packers played them tougher than we did.

That's because they won a bunch of Super Bowls. And beating a lot of good teams while doing so.

I’m just providing the facts. You’re the one crying because you can’t deal with the facts.

But if they had real competition, they don’t even make the playoffs!

The hardest thing to “deal with” is nonstop complainers. The fact is, you enjoy being miserable, and you think that makes you sound enlightened.

To say the least! We lay an egg like that every year or two. It usually happens when we’re playing our best football.

I’m far from miserable you’re the one complaining. Lol You don’t have to deal with me you can put me on ignore.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Beating the swamp rats of the league is not the same as beating contenders. They may both count as one win, but they are not the same.

I pay more attention to how they play against good teams. Teams they may face in the playoffs. I tend to ignore beating up on the Giants or Washington twice a year. But that's just me

Thats fine but again were you decieved by it? teams who win the games they should and lose the games they should who are good make the playoffs every year..why is that deceptive....they only deceptive thing about last year was the SF record because they were injured most of the year.

 

[Direwolf63]

But if they had real competition, they don’t even make the playoffs!

Their competition was in the playoffs, when it mattered most.

Coward would not mention the other teams in the NFC East if the Cowboys won Super Bowls. But he does mention it because they consistently lose in the playoffs

 

[Jake]

Yes. The Niners loss was easily predictable.

I thought they would beat the 49ers. So I guess I was deceived. Stupid me.

Weird, they didn't go 6-0 over the AFCE every year. It's strange what New England's record must have been against the other 10 opponents. Against out of conference NFC teams and consistent 1st place schedule AFC foes.

Contrastly Dallas struggles to beat anyone outside the division or .500 or above.

Yeah, the whole AFC East is the reason for NE'S dominance thing is weak. There are 10(now 11) other games that they managed to do pretty good in.

Manning and Dungy's AFC South dominance was even worse but again they beat everybody. Not just their own division. The Colts had a 7 year run of "averaging" 12 reg. season wins. They weren't the playoff bully NE was but as far as regular seasons go, the Colts beat plenty of teams outside their division.
